the rocker bolts are tight. the valve stays in the closed position. when i push against the push rod side of the rocker it feels the same as the others as far as up and down movement. the rocker it self is floppy loose. some of the others are loose but not as much and the rest of them are snug against the valve. rocker ball? is that where the pushrod fits?

back to the oil. the rockers all seem to be oiling good. pressure is still 70 at warm idle like before. i run napa 10w30, but when i was losing all the oil i refilled it with rotella 15w40 because thats all i had on hand in the shop.

thanks for sticking with me BigJim
